Materials to Introduce RecurDyn to Others

RecurDyn e-Learning Dynamics is a practice course given with video lectures that cover 30 selected problems based on the textbook Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics written by JL Meriam (published by Wiley).

The user can compare the theoretical solution with the numerical solution (results from RecurDyn) and follow the simulation process that is provided.

The contents of ‘e-Learning Start’ covers the dynamics of a simple pendulum, free-falling ball, projectile motion, four-bar linkage, spring-damper system, and a block on an inclined plane.

This is a very useful resource for users who would like to learn how to use RecurDyn through self-study at work or school.

In the News:

Along with other distinguished speakers, Richard Pappa from NASA Langley Research Center will be presenting:

“Mars Surface Solar Array Structures: Recent SBIR Contracts”

on Friday, September 21 @ 10:20am.

His presentation will include information from MotionPort’s current SBIR project “Multi-Physics Approach to Simulate Dust Accumulation/Removal”. If you are planning to be in attendance at this year’s SPRAT conference, we hope you will enjoy Richard’s presentation.
